Black & white photo meas. approx. 14.00 inches long x 9.50 inches wide showing the west and north sides of the town of Gettysburg. An inscription on the reverse reads “TO GEO. D. ‘POP’ ROSENSTEEL WITH MY COMPLIMENTS; AERIAL PHOTO AT 3000 FT TAKEN AT NOON JULY 4, 1938 75^TH BATTLE ANNIVERSARY. PEACE MEMORIAL DEDICATION. CARL M. SILK, 724 N 3D ST. READING, PA.”

Clearly visible on the photo is the camp of the veterans west and north of town. Oak Hill is just out of the photo to the right but you can clearly make out the Union lines from July 1^st from the route of the battlefield avenues. Herbst Woods, the McPherson farm, the Railroad Cut and most of the 11^th Corps line are visible.

This photo was purchased directly from the Rosensteel family. It was their collection of artifacts that formed the basis for the present Gettysburg National Military Park holdings.
